“Not more than % of expenditures in training actually
result in transfer to the job.”
Broad and Newstrom
6-10
Program Overview
Planning is the first step of
the training management
cycle. At the planning
stage, the steps are
divided into two:
i) Training Needs
Assessment (TNA) and
ii) Training Planning.
This manual takes up TNA.
What is Training Needs Assessment?
• “Training Needs Assessment” (TNA)
is the method of determining if a
training need exists and, if it does,
what training is required to fill the
gap.
• TNA seeks to identify accurately the
levels of the present situation in the
target surveys, interview,
observation, secondary data and/or
workshop.
• The gap between the present status
and desired status may indicate
problems that in turn can be
translated into a training need.
Training Need Assessment
Macro vs. Micro
Macro
• aligned with strategic goals
• three levels
– organizational
– occupational
– individual
Micro
• initiated by performance
problems or change
• assessment done to clarify
problem, determine if training is
the solution, analyze
performance, and characteristics
of trainees

Why do a Training Needs Assessment?
A TNA provides information on the training and skills development
requirements of all members of your network. It is one of the key
steps in preparing a training plan and will provide you with information
on which to base your network‟s training plan. It enables you to:
• Identify the gap between current and required
levels of knowledge, skills and atitude
• Identify what the general content of training
should be
• Form the foundation of a training plan
• Provide a baseline for the evaluation of a
training plan
• Ensure that appropriate and relevant training
is delivered
• Maximise use of scarce resources
Training Need Assessment
Must analyze as much information as possible about the
following:
• Organization and its goals and objectives.
• Jobs and related tasks that need to be learned.
• Competencies and skills that are need to perform the job.
• Individuals who are to be trained.
Why do a Training Needs Assessment?
Training Need Assessment
Benefits of a Training Needs
Asessment?
• Identifies performance goals and
the knowledge, skills and abilities
needed by a company‟s workforce
to achieve those goals
• Identifies gaps in training provision
in sectors and or regions
• Helps direct resources to areas of
greatest priority
• Addresses resources needed to
fulfil the organisational mission,
improve productivity, and provide
quality products and services
What are the key steps in conducting an
effective Training Needs Assessment?
• Prepare thoroughly
• Follow a structured methodology
• Link training needs with the objectives of
the network
• Gain commitment from members to
participate in the TNA
• Communicate with all those involved
• Ensure you have the skills to conduct the
TNA (analytical and communication)
• Collate the results gathered
• Prioritise the identified training needs and
group them into training categories
Why do we need training?
• Having the knowledge and right skills to be able to do
their work effectively and competently.
• Training may be needed when there is a gap between the
desired performance, and the current performance, and
the reason for that gap is lack of skill or knowledge.
• Training may only be able to resolve part of the problem.
Thus we need to analyze the problem and find out
whether training will be able to resolve it.
• If training is necessary, we also need to define the
objective of the training and how it will help the
member(s) become more effective.
Five Steps of Training Needs Assessment
Step 1:
Identify Problem
and Needs
• The first step in TNA is to identify problems and needs.
Before TNA is conducted, it should be probed whether
training is needed. In the public sector, it is important to
identify organizational context in such aspects as policy,
goal, roles and responsibilities.
• Realizing the policy direction of the organization,
performance analysis known as “gap” analysis is conducted
to look at an official’s current working performance and
knowledge and identify whether an official is performing as
desired based on given roles and responsibilities.
GAPS
Gaps can include
discrepancies/differences between:
• What the organization expects to
happen and what actually
happens.
• Current and desired job
performance.
• Existing and desired competencies
and skills.
Define the problem
DESIRED PERFORMANCE (Optimals)
- ACTUAL PERFORMANCE (Actuals)
= POSSIBLE TRAINING NEED
Is Training Important?
• Why is it important?
• What if you did nothing?
• How big is it? (Quantify if
possible)
• Who cares?
• “Is the cost of the
discrepancy high enough
that it seems worth pursuing
a solution?”
Determine Cause(s)
Is it a problem of skill or a problem of will?
Step 2: Determine Design of Needs Analysis
The second step in TNA is to determine the following:
i) target groups to be trained;
ii) interviewees;
iii) survey methods;
iv) survey plan including schedule to
be conducted TNA and persons in
charge of TNA.
Those items become the basis for a training course designer
to either create a new training course, identify an existing one
that can fulfill the need, or obtain one externally.
Target Groups
• The survey must clearly define the target group of the
training, i.e., target population. Although no strict rules for
defining exist, the target population must be defined in line
with the objectives of TNA.
• The survey should produce the following elements in its
report: training subject(s); importance of the training; time
requirements; current target group; potential target group;
frequency of training; and required outputs of the training.
Interview
Once a target group for the
training, i.e., target
population, is identified,
interviewees for the survey
are selected. It is likely that
all the officials of the
target group cannot be
interviewed due to time
constraints. Thus, sampling
of the target population
which will be addressed in
the next section should be
used.
Survey Methods
The following figure indicates types of needs
analysis and contents. It is suggested that those
analyses be used in combination depending on
the needs, time availability and manpower.
Training Need Assessment
Survey Methods
Data collection and analysis are
essential parts of needs
assessment. The following table
describes the most commonly
used methods of data collection.
TNA is optimized when a
combination of data collection
methods is used to analyze
quantitative and qualitative data.
Regardless of which methods are
used to collect and analyze data, it
is important to consider the
reliability, validity and
trustworthiness of the data.

Sampling Methods
Step 3 : Collect Data
• There are various methods to
collect information for your TNA
which can be utilised individually
or in combination with each
other. It is advisable to use more
than one method to get a
comprehensive overview of the
needs of the sector/region.
• Data gathering is cornerstone of
any needs assessment project.
• Can be time consuming.
Typical methods of collecting
information for your TNA
• Surveys
• Focus groups
• Individual interviews
• Reviewing existing
documents
• Discussions with steering
group
• Discussions with relevant
bodies (trade associations,
Chambers of Commerce,
universities, unemployment
services)
Discussions with relevant
Stakeholders
• Meetings with Steering Group
• Discussions with relevant Bodies
• Discussions with stakeholders operating in employment services
Step 4 :
Analyze Data
• Assuming that the needs assessment identifies more than one training
need, the training manager, working with management, prioritizes the
training based on the urgency of the need (timeliness), the extent of the
need (how many employees need to be trained) and the resources
available. Based on this information, the training manager can develop the
instructional objectives for the training and development program.
• All three levels of needs analysis are interrelated and the data collected
from each level is critical to a thorough and effective needs assessment.
organizational analysis can be
obtained from a variety of sources
• Organizational goals and objectives, mission statements, strategic plans.
• Staffing inventory, succession planning, long and short term staffing needs.
• Skills inventory: both currently available and short and long term needs, organizational
climate indices: labor/management relationships, grievances, turnover rates,
absenteeism, suggestions, productivity, accidents, short term sickness, observations of
employee behavior, attitude surveys, customer complaints.
• Analysis of efficiency indices: costs of labor, costs of materials, quality of products,
equipment utilization, production rates, costs of distribution, waste, down time, late
deliveries, repairs.
• Changes in equipment, technology or automation.
• Annual report.
• Plans for reorganization or job restructuring.
• Audit exceptions; reward systems.
• Planning systems.
• Delegation and control systems.
• Employee attitudes and satisfaction.
There are a variety of sources
for collecting data for a task
analysis
• Job description-- A narrative statement of the major activities
involved in performing the job and the conditions under which these
activities are performed. If an accurate job description is not available
or is out of date, one should be prepared using job analysis
techniques.
• KSA analysis-- A more detailed list of specified tasks for each job
including Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes and Abilities required of
incumbents.
• Performance standards-- Objectives of the tasks of the job and the
standards by which they will be judged. This is needed to identify
performance discrepancies.
• Observe the job/sample the work.
• Perform the job.
• Job inventory questionnaire-- Evaluate tasks in terms of importance
and time spent performing.
• Review literature about the job-- Research the "best practices" from
other companies, review professional journals.
• Ask questions about the job-- Of the incumbents, of the supervisor, of
upper management.
• Analysis of operating problems-- Down time, waste, repairs, late
deliveries, quality control.
Sources of information available for a
individual analysis
• Performance evaluation -- Identifies weaknesses and
areas of improvement.
• Performance problems -- Productivity, absenteeism or
tardiness, accidents, grievances, waste, product
quality, down time, repairs, equipment utilization,
customer complaints.
• Observation -- Observe both behavior and the results
of the behavior.
• Work samples -- Observe products generated.
• Interviews -- Talk to manager, supervisor and
employee. Ask employee about what he/she believes
he/she needs to learn.
• Questionnaires -- Written form of the interview, tests,
must measure job-related qualities such as job
knowledge and skills.
• Attitude surveys -- Measures morale, motivation,
satisfaction.
• Checklists or training progress charts -- Up-to-date
listing of current skills.
To solve a performance issue
• Training may not be the answer
• Training may not be the only answer
If a skill deficiency..
• Provide training
• Provide practice
• Provide feedback
• Simplify the task
• Develop a job aid
• OJT
• Transfer
• Terminate
Cause Solution
• If skill or knowledge……….training
• If lack feedback……………..feedback, standards
• If not motivated…………….rewards, consequences
• If unclear expectations…..std, measure, discuss
• If job environment…………change environment
• If potential……………………change personnel
If training is the answer….
• Formal training
• Self study
• Technology based
• Job
related/workplace
approaches
Outcomes of Problem and
Performance Analysis
• More complete picture of problem
• Is it training? Is it training plus…
• Make solid recommendations
• If is training or job aid….on to task or
competency analysis!
Task/Competency Analysis
“What do learners need to learn?”
Task Analysis
• For more skill oriented
jobs
• When need consistent
set of training
requirements
Competency Analysis
• Soft skills training such
as mgmt, supervision
• Professional jobs
• Career pathing
• Leadership
development
Steps in Task
Analysis
• Break job into major
functions
• Break functions into
major tasks
• Break tasks into steps
• Identify training
outcomes
Task Analysis Interviews
• Managers
• Best performers
• Job incumbents
• Subject matter
experts
Competency Analysis
• What are competencies?
– Enduring characteristics of a person that result in
superior on-the-job performance
– Areas of personal capability that enable employees to
successfully perform their jobs by achieving outcomes
or successfully performing tasks
What is a competency model?
Identifies the
competencies
necessary for
each job as well
as the knowledge,
skills, behavior,
and personality
characteristics
underlying each
competency.
What do you want to know?
• General
characteristics
• Specific knowledge
and skill
• Learning styles
• Special needs
Information is Used in Three Important Ways
• To help determine
where to begin the
content of the training
program
• To determine how to
present the content
• To get buy-in
Results
The results of the needs assessment allows the
training manager to set the training
• objectives by answering two very basic
questions: who, if anyone, needs training
and
• what training is needed. Sometimes training
is not the solution. Some performance gaps
• can be reduced or eliminated through other
management solutions such as
• communicating expectations, providing a
supportive work environment, arranging
• consequences, removing obstacles and
checking job fit.
From Result to Implementation
Once the needs assessment is completed and
training objectives are clearly identified, the design
phase of the training and development process is
initiated:
• Select the internal or external person or
resource to design and develop the training.
• Select and design the program content.
• Select the techniques used to facilitate learning
(lecture, role play, simulation, etc.).
• Select the appropriate setting (on the job,
classroom, etc.).
• Select the materials to be used in delivering the
training (work books, videos, etc.).
• Identify and train instructors (if internal).
The Training is Ready for Implementation
• Schedule classes, facilities and
participants.
• Schedule instructors to teach.
• Prepare materials and deliver
them to scheduled locations.
• Conduct the training.

Training Need Assessment

  • 2. “Not more than % of expenditures in training actually result in transfer to the job.” Broad and Newstrom 6-10
  • 3. Program Overview Planning is the first step of the training management cycle. At the planning stage, the steps are divided into two: i) Training Needs Assessment (TNA) and ii) Training Planning. This manual takes up TNA.
  • 4. What is Training Needs Assessment? • “Training Needs Assessment” (TNA) is the method of determining if a training need exists and, if it does, what training is required to fill the gap. • TNA seeks to identify accurately the levels of the present situation in the target surveys, interview, observation, secondary data and/or workshop. • The gap between the present status and desired status may indicate problems that in turn can be translated into a training need.
  • 6. Macro vs. Micro Macro • aligned with strategic goals • three levels – organizational – occupational – individual Micro • initiated by performance problems or change • assessment done to clarify problem, determine if training is the solution, analyze performance, and characteristics of trainees
  • 7. Instructional Design Process ANALYZE DESIGN DEVELOP IMPLEMENT EVALUATE
  • 8. Why do a Training Needs Assessment? A TNA provides information on the training and skills development requirements of all members of your network. It is one of the key steps in preparing a training plan and will provide you with information on which to base your network‟s training plan. It enables you to: • Identify the gap between current and required levels of knowledge, skills and atitude • Identify what the general content of training should be • Form the foundation of a training plan • Provide a baseline for the evaluation of a training plan • Ensure that appropriate and relevant training is delivered • Maximise use of scarce resources
  • 10. Must analyze as much information as possible about the following: • Organization and its goals and objectives. • Jobs and related tasks that need to be learned. • Competencies and skills that are need to perform the job. • Individuals who are to be trained. Why do a Training Needs Assessment?
  • 12. Benefits of a Training Needs Asessment? • Identifies performance goals and the knowledge, skills and abilities needed by a company‟s workforce to achieve those goals • Identifies gaps in training provision in sectors and or regions • Helps direct resources to areas of greatest priority • Addresses resources needed to fulfil the organisational mission, improve productivity, and provide quality products and services
  • 13. What are the key steps in conducting an effective Training Needs Assessment? • Prepare thoroughly • Follow a structured methodology • Link training needs with the objectives of the network • Gain commitment from members to participate in the TNA • Communicate with all those involved • Ensure you have the skills to conduct the TNA (analytical and communication) • Collate the results gathered • Prioritise the identified training needs and group them into training categories
  • 14. Why do we need training? • Having the knowledge and right skills to be able to do their work effectively and competently. • Training may be needed when there is a gap between the desired performance, and the current performance, and the reason for that gap is lack of skill or knowledge. • Training may only be able to resolve part of the problem. Thus we need to analyze the problem and find out whether training will be able to resolve it. • If training is necessary, we also need to define the objective of the training and how it will help the member(s) become more effective.
  • 15. Five Steps of Training Needs Assessment
  • 16. Step 1: Identify Problem and Needs • The first step in TNA is to identify problems and needs. Before TNA is conducted, it should be probed whether training is needed. In the public sector, it is important to identify organizational context in such aspects as policy, goal, roles and responsibilities. • Realizing the policy direction of the organization, performance analysis known as “gap” analysis is conducted to look at an official’s current working performance and knowledge and identify whether an official is performing as desired based on given roles and responsibilities.
  • 17. GAPS Gaps can include discrepancies/differences between: • What the organization expects to happen and what actually happens. • Current and desired job performance. • Existing and desired competencies and skills.
  • 18. Define the problem DESIRED PERFORMANCE (Optimals) - ACTUAL PERFORMANCE (Actuals) = POSSIBLE TRAINING NEED
  • 19. Is Training Important? • Why is it important? • What if you did nothing? • How big is it? (Quantify if possible) • Who cares? • “Is the cost of the discrepancy high enough that it seems worth pursuing a solution?”
  • 20. Determine Cause(s) Is it a problem of skill or a problem of will?
  • 21. Step 2: Determine Design of Needs Analysis The second step in TNA is to determine the following: i) target groups to be trained; ii) interviewees; iii) survey methods; iv) survey plan including schedule to be conducted TNA and persons in charge of TNA. Those items become the basis for a training course designer to either create a new training course, identify an existing one that can fulfill the need, or obtain one externally.
  • 22. Target Groups • The survey must clearly define the target group of the training, i.e., target population. Although no strict rules for defining exist, the target population must be defined in line with the objectives of TNA. • The survey should produce the following elements in its report: training subject(s); importance of the training; time requirements; current target group; potential target group; frequency of training; and required outputs of the training.
  • 23. Interview Once a target group for the training, i.e., target population, is identified, interviewees for the survey are selected. It is likely that all the officials of the target group cannot be interviewed due to time constraints. Thus, sampling of the target population which will be addressed in the next section should be used.
  • 24. Survey Methods The following figure indicates types of needs analysis and contents. It is suggested that those analyses be used in combination depending on the needs, time availability and manpower.
  • 26. Survey Methods Data collection and analysis are essential parts of needs assessment. The following table describes the most commonly used methods of data collection. TNA is optimized when a combination of data collection methods is used to analyze quantitative and qualitative data. Regardless of which methods are used to collect and analyze data, it is important to consider the reliability, validity and trustworthiness of the data.
  • 30. Step 3 : Collect Data • There are various methods to collect information for your TNA which can be utilised individually or in combination with each other. It is advisable to use more than one method to get a comprehensive overview of the needs of the sector/region. • Data gathering is cornerstone of any needs assessment project. • Can be time consuming.
  • 31. Typical methods of collecting information for your TNA • Surveys • Focus groups • Individual interviews • Reviewing existing documents • Discussions with steering group • Discussions with relevant bodies (trade associations, Chambers of Commerce, universities, unemployment services)
  • 32. Discussions with relevant Stakeholders • Meetings with Steering Group • Discussions with relevant Bodies • Discussions with stakeholders operating in employment services
  • 33. Step 4 : Analyze Data • Assuming that the needs assessment identifies more than one training need, the training manager, working with management, prioritizes the training based on the urgency of the need (timeliness), the extent of the need (how many employees need to be trained) and the resources available. Based on this information, the training manager can develop the instructional objectives for the training and development program. • All three levels of needs analysis are interrelated and the data collected from each level is critical to a thorough and effective needs assessment.
  • 34. organizational analysis can be obtained from a variety of sources • Organizational goals and objectives, mission statements, strategic plans. • Staffing inventory, succession planning, long and short term staffing needs. • Skills inventory: both currently available and short and long term needs, organizational climate indices: labor/management relationships, grievances, turnover rates, absenteeism, suggestions, productivity, accidents, short term sickness, observations of employee behavior, attitude surveys, customer complaints. • Analysis of efficiency indices: costs of labor, costs of materials, quality of products, equipment utilization, production rates, costs of distribution, waste, down time, late deliveries, repairs. • Changes in equipment, technology or automation. • Annual report. • Plans for reorganization or job restructuring. • Audit exceptions; reward systems. • Planning systems. • Delegation and control systems. • Employee attitudes and satisfaction.
  • 35. There are a variety of sources for collecting data for a task analysis • Job description-- A narrative statement of the major activities involved in performing the job and the conditions under which these activities are performed. If an accurate job description is not available or is out of date, one should be prepared using job analysis techniques. • KSA analysis-- A more detailed list of specified tasks for each job including Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes and Abilities required of incumbents. • Performance standards-- Objectives of the tasks of the job and the standards by which they will be judged. This is needed to identify performance discrepancies. • Observe the job/sample the work. • Perform the job. • Job inventory questionnaire-- Evaluate tasks in terms of importance and time spent performing. • Review literature about the job-- Research the "best practices" from other companies, review professional journals. • Ask questions about the job-- Of the incumbents, of the supervisor, of upper management. • Analysis of operating problems-- Down time, waste, repairs, late deliveries, quality control.
  • 36. Sources of information available for a individual analysis • Performance evaluation -- Identifies weaknesses and areas of improvement. • Performance problems -- Productivity, absenteeism or tardiness, accidents, grievances, waste, product quality, down time, repairs, equipment utilization, customer complaints. • Observation -- Observe both behavior and the results of the behavior. • Work samples -- Observe products generated. • Interviews -- Talk to manager, supervisor and employee. Ask employee about what he/she believes he/she needs to learn. • Questionnaires -- Written form of the interview, tests, must measure job-related qualities such as job knowledge and skills. • Attitude surveys -- Measures morale, motivation, satisfaction. • Checklists or training progress charts -- Up-to-date listing of current skills.
  • 37. To solve a performance issue • Training may not be the answer • Training may not be the only answer
  • 38. If a skill deficiency.. • Provide training • Provide practice • Provide feedback • Simplify the task • Develop a job aid • OJT • Transfer • Terminate
  • 39. Cause Solution • If skill or knowledge……….training • If lack feedback……………..feedback, standards • If not motivated…………….rewards, consequences • If unclear expectations…..std, measure, discuss • If job environment…………change environment • If potential……………………change personnel
  • 40. If training is the answer…. • Formal training • Self study • Technology based • Job related/workplace approaches
  • 41. Outcomes of Problem and Performance Analysis • More complete picture of problem • Is it training? Is it training plus… • Make solid recommendations • If is training or job aid….on to task or competency analysis!
  • 42. Task/Competency Analysis “What do learners need to learn?” Task Analysis • For more skill oriented jobs • When need consistent set of training requirements Competency Analysis • Soft skills training such as mgmt, supervision • Professional jobs • Career pathing • Leadership development
  • 43. Steps in Task Analysis • Break job into major functions • Break functions into major tasks • Break tasks into steps • Identify training outcomes
  • 44. Task Analysis Interviews • Managers • Best performers • Job incumbents • Subject matter experts
  • 45. Competency Analysis • What are competencies? – Enduring characteristics of a person that result in superior on-the-job performance – Areas of personal capability that enable employees to successfully perform their jobs by achieving outcomes or successfully performing tasks
  • 46. What is a competency model? Identifies the competencies necessary for each job as well as the knowledge, skills, behavior, and personality characteristics underlying each competency.
  • 47. What do you want to know? • General characteristics • Specific knowledge and skill • Learning styles • Special needs
  • 48. Information is Used in Three Important Ways • To help determine where to begin the content of the training program • To determine how to present the content • To get buy-in
  • 49. Results The results of the needs assessment allows the training manager to set the training • objectives by answering two very basic questions: who, if anyone, needs training and • what training is needed. Sometimes training is not the solution. Some performance gaps • can be reduced or eliminated through other management solutions such as • communicating expectations, providing a supportive work environment, arranging • consequences, removing obstacles and checking job fit.
  • 50. From Result to Implementation Once the needs assessment is completed and training objectives are clearly identified, the design phase of the training and development process is initiated: • Select the internal or external person or resource to design and develop the training. • Select and design the program content. • Select the techniques used to facilitate learning (lecture, role play, simulation, etc.). • Select the appropriate setting (on the job, classroom, etc.). • Select the materials to be used in delivering the training (work books, videos, etc.). • Identify and train instructors (if internal).
  • 51. The Training is Ready for Implementation • Schedule classes, facilities and participants. • Schedule instructors to teach. • Prepare materials and deliver them to scheduled locations. • Conduct the training.
